Doll Quilt Swap ... recap and new round now open!

You may have heard the rumors, but yes ... I am here to tell you that they are all true: signups for Doll Quilt Swap 7 have opened up.

So much for my mini quilt swap hiatus.

Anyhoo, the first 200 people to sign up are guaranteed spots ... and they are filling up fast. So what are you waiting for? Go! Go!

But be sure to come back, because I thought this was a great time to post the recap of DQS6 that I've been meaning to get to for a few months now.

As you may remember, I was an admin (aka "swap papa") for the Doll Quilt Swap for the first time in round 6. And let me tell you, I think I was given the best bunch of quilters in the whole swap (well, except for Joy, who sent me the best dang quilt of the whole swap (IMHO)!!)

I wanted to honor their talent and hard work by posting this gallery of their quilts. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!

We'll start with Bronwyn, who sent this fantastic quilt to fellow Aussie Helen:

oh john that was so great!! it must have been a lot of work for that post!! your bebes quilts are all fab!! thanks for putting in the blurb about dqs7, we are getting bunches of your followers joining in!

LOLOL laughing at how long your haitus lasted!! Too funny! :D Love your pinwheel quilt - those borders are PERFECT!! And can't wait to see your ORBCO quilt when you get it done! You must never sleep! LOL

I saw this 2 days ago and jumped immediately over to sign up! Then call my sister and tell her to sign up! You're one of quite a crew of quilters that we both love! And many of you seem to participate in this swap, so, we are excited just to jump in and play with everyone! Of course I didn't get back to see the quilt pictures till today, and of course they're beautiful! You did have quite a good group didn't you!

Just found your blog - love it! Now if you could get my husband to give up WOW and take up quilting with me ;-) Right.Anyhow - great doll quilts... and I'm guilty of the opposite. I tend to only do larger quilts (30x30) or larger... I've never made a doll quilt, but I may have to start. If nothing else, just to practice different techniques that I NEVER do otherwise. I'll be checking back in regularly from now on! Cheers!

Love your site...missed the Doll Swap sign up but will be "lurking" to be able to get in on the next one. I have a soft spot in my heart for NC, lived in Chapel Hill for Grad school..transplanted Razorback, now in LSU Country. Been quilting for years!! and love it. Keep up the great work!
